7.3.8 Current Regulation

The current through the motor windings is regulated by a PWM current-regulation circuit. When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the supply voltage, inductance of the winding, and the magnitude of the back EMF present. When the current hits the current regulation threshold, the bridge enters a decay mode for the OFF time to decrease the current, as shown in 9. After the off-time expires, the bridge is re-enabled, starting another PWM cycle.

GUID-20220521-SS0I-KJWM-BGFV-70V8WFXTFHSG-low.svgFigure 7-10 Current Chopping Waveform

The PWM regulation current is set by a comparator which monitors the voltage across the current sense MOSFETs in parallel with the low-side power MOSFETs. When the device is configured with H/W interface, the current sense MOSFETs are biased with a reference current that is the output of a current-mode sine-weighted DAC whose full-scale reference current is set by the voltage at the VREF pin. When operating with SPI interface, two registers (TRQ_DAC and ISTSL) can further scale the reference current.

Use Equation 14 to calculate the full-scale regulation current for H/W interface.

Equation 1. IFS (A) = VREF (V) / KV (V/A)

For the SPI interface, the 8-bit TRQ_DAC register further scales the full-scale current as shown in Equation 14. See Table 7-16 for TRQ_DAC settings.

Equation 2. IFS (A) = VREF (V) x TRQ_DAC / KV (V/A)

Another 8-bit register ISTSL programs the holding current (IHOLD) when STEP pulses are not applied and the motor is being held at same position. Transitioning to a lower value of holding current reduces motor and driver power loss. See Section 7.3.9 for details.
